By region, 213 locations in Seoul are operating as "Climate Companion Shelters," 127 locations in Busan are serving as "Our Neighborhood Climate Shelters," and 70 locations in Daejeon are acting as "Cold & Heat Shelters." These shelters are designated rest and emergency spaces established to protect the health and safety of citizens.



Heat shelters are spaces provided for anyone to temporarily escape the heat during summer heatwaves and prevent heat-related illnesses. KT is partnering with local governments to offer accessible KT stores as shelters. At the entrance of each store, a certification plaque from the respective local government is displayed to indicate its status as a designated shelter.
